The Easiest Bread I've Ever Made.

[coffeetime]

I was at a Brazilian restaurant a few weeks ago and when I asked about gluten free choices I was so pleased to find almost everything on the menu was and then the waitress said "even the bread basket is" I almost fell over. Needless to say I came home found the recipe on line and tonight made the bread. It took 2-3 min. to mix, about 15 min. to bake and my family went through them in about 2 min. It makes twenty four mini muffins, just don't overbake, they should collapse as they cool.

OMG! They look good! Thanks for posting the recipe.

Here is another twist on this. I make these all the time. I made them for my husbands step mother, who is from Brazil, and she was thrilled.

She said they tasted just like what she used to eat. She recently sent me some imported sour manioc starch with a recipe on the back for pao de queijo. I want to try it but need to get the recipe translated to english.. I may see if she will translate it for me. Open Original Shared Link

Thanks for posting this! I'm new to gluten-free and still a little intimidated by all of the different kinds of flours and ingredients. This looks like something even I can do!

I make those all the time using Parmesan cheese. I don't use a muffin pan... I just drop blops on an ungreased cookie sheet. YUM!!

I know what you mean about all the different types of flour. I found that I pretty much stick with an all-purpose flour blend (I use Namaste) but I broke down and bought tapioca flour after trying this bread. One magazine you might want to check out is Gluten Free Delights. I found one at Earth Fare and now have a subscription. All the recipes use basic ingredients and flour blends so you don't have to have a pantry full of different flours. Good luck, this board helped me so much and I'm sure it will you too

Thanks - I'll bet they have the magazine at Whole Foods so I'll haveto check it out next time I go. We do have one of the blends in our pantry (it might even be Namaste) but I've only tried it for recipes that don't require a lot of flour, like the sweet potato casserole I made for Christmas dinner.

I use this same recipe and I make them all the time. Sometimes even twice a week. I usually make them with the queso fresco as she recommends but I have also used cheddar and they were good with that also. They are so good!

Do you use olive oil, or another type of oil? I tried them once with olive oil and found the olive oil taste a bit too overwhelming. Its all I could taste.

I tried those over the holidays. They were great!

I use olive oil but not virgin or extra virgin. I use a light olive oil - much milder flavor. I have also a plain cooking oil when I was out of olive oil and they turned out fine.

I made these tonight and I'm not going to say how many I ate! Let's just say there aren't many left.

I used parmesan cheese and canola oil, and mixed them in a bowl with my immersion blender. The batter was very loose and I really didn't think this recipe would work but soon I saw their cute little tops towering over each other in the oven.

This recipe is definitely a keeper and every bit as good, IMO, as the Chebe mixes.
